President Cleveland Makes the
Tariff the Issue.

President Cleveland's first message
to the Fiftieth Congress is the most
courageous document that has been
sent from the Executive Mansion since
the close of the war.
The President has framed the issue
for next years campaign. He has put
the Democrats fairly on what is called
the free trade platform, and the coun-
try will recognize the fitness of the pro-
LESSONS. The devotion of the whole
message to the single subject was neces-
sary in order to emphasize the fact that
Mr.. Cleveland is a candidate for re-
election as a tariff refOrmer. The
Republican party has nothing to com
plain of. 1t has for several wears
urged the making of the issue. and
Mr. Cleveland has simply accepted
the invitation of his political opponents.
Mr.. Cleveland's tariff revision mes
sage disturbed the stock markets in
both Philadelphia and New York the
next day, most of the traders being
hearish.' The effect of the message
on the Democratic party has had the
same effect. No high tariff Democrat
likes it, and it is also highly unsatisfac-
tory to all that considerable BODY of
Southern Democrats who are concern
ed in the production of tobacco and
whiskey, and who want the internal
revenue taxes on these articles taken
of. Indeed, there appears to be a fear
iul apprehension all along the line of
Democratic officeholders that the Pres
ldent has painted his particular brand
OF tariff reform too red. They are afraid
that large masses of voters will be
s'ampeded from the party by the siren
uous and vehement way in which Mr..
Cleveland urges his particular remedy
for conceded evil. The Republicans.
on the other hand, are very generally
cheerful. They feel that the message
gives them a good fighting chance for
1888 in New York, Connecticut and
New Jersey, not to mention other
states.
The present impressions may be
greatly modified by next month. and
they may be changed by next year.
Whatever the Democratic majority in
Congress may do, the Presidents mes
sage will probably constitute the main
subject of partisan contention in the
next Presidential canvass. In what
ever light the Democrats may regard
the message they cannot wholly dis
credit it. The Republican party is on
record as condemning the existence of
surplus, and as promising, if it had
The power, to get rid oft.
The party traditions, and instincts
would almost certainly lead them to
recommend the use of part of the sur |
plus for the permanent welfare of the
1t is also a ridiculous posi-
lion for nation bounded on the east. |
The west and the south by the high |
seas to be well supplied with railroads
and not to have any ships.
In any case there is no doubt that
Republicans generally feel greatly en-
2ouraged by the new element of discus
sion which the Presidents message has
brought forward in an authoritative
form, and that they are preparing
themselves to take every party advan-
.age Of the unexpected opportunity
which the message has created.

Responses to the Message,

Many years have elapsed since a
RESIDENTS message has elected So
much interest or excited such an unus-
ual amount and varied description of
comment as that just sent to Congress
by Mr.. Cleveland. The widespread
interest is largely enhanced bv the
unique and unexpected character and
nature of the document. 1t is AMONG
the rarest of happenings for a Presi-
Oent's message on a subject sharplv
controverted between the two great
parties to be so gladly and generally
welcomed by leading men and influen-
tlai newspapers in both parties. That
mas happened to this message: the
great mass of the Democratic marty

head, greeting it with warm and strong
pralse-and nearly the whole Republi.
can opposition to the President meet
ing it with glad welcome. because thew
believe it gives their party great adj.
vantage and does corresponding dam
age to the position of the President
ana the cause of their adversary. And
we may add here that exultation ovar
the message is heard from the far side
OF the Atlantic, coming from those
who harbor no commercial good feel
ing to either Democrats or Republicans.
rarely, we repeat, does such general
and glad welcome greet Presidents

Camden Tea Party.

AT a recent tea party given by the
young men Of Camden to the Y. w. G.
I. u, and other ladies, the following
song composed by one the gentlemen
for the occasion was sung to the tune
OF Little Brown Jug"
The temperance ladies Of the land.
All have united in a band;
With object fair and motive true
We wish yousuccess in the work Won do
Cho.-Y W. C. 7. 1--WE give three cbaers e.
your Union too
For God and Home and Native Land
You all together united stand;

BE 1t your purpose still to seek.
Chorus
VINE is q moeker," so we fear

Fut them down as soon as you can,
For they are foes to your fellow man.
Go on, dear ladies in your chosen way.
And do your duty from day to day,
The time perhaps is not remote.
When you'll settle the business with
your vote"
Chorus
The "Y's" responded with a few
verses, we quote the closing one:
All praise to the young men Of Camden.
With principles loyal and true.
We own yOU grand workers for TEMPERANCE
And claim victory for it, and for YOU"

Charges of Freight Discrimination.

The Delaware State Grange has
formally presented to the interstate
commerce commission charges of
freight discrimination against the
Pennsylvania and New York, Philadel-
phia and Norfolk Railroads and their
peninsula feeders. The Grange has
been moving quietly in this matter for
the last six months. They charge
that these railroad companies have
been persistently discriminating against
all peninsula shippers, and in favor of
the shippers of Norfolk, Va, and the
territory further South. They allege
they have hundreds of freight bills
which show that peninsula farmers are
being charged so per cent. more on
every package of produce shipped than
the Norfolk farmers, and they allege
that this discrimination absorbs all the
profits of fruit and vegetable growing.
They also accuse the Pennsylvania
Company of neglecting repeatedly to
to run their trains on schedule time.
A. r. Brown, master of the State
Grange, represents the farmers, and
Geo. II. Bates and Levi G. Bird, of Will
mlngton, are counsel. The commits
sion will hear the case in January.

stating that many people suffer from
the cerulean sickness, and enumerating
the manifold causes thereof, he came

As Applied to Delaware.

The United States Supreme Court
has decided that the State of Kansas
has right to prohibit the liouor traffic
1t did not thereby take away the pron.
erty OF the brewers it simply abated
nuisance" The State of Delaware
mas given to its Superior Court the
power not to prohibit the LIQUOR traffic
out to abate what is not only an IN.
mlugated nuisance but positive in
jury to the community. By reason of
the confidence reposed in the Judgment
of the Superior Court of this State the
judges thereof have discretionary power
regarding the granting and renewal of
lquor licenses. The Supreme Court
says IN effect that the manufacture and
sale of liquor becomes a public nuisance
when state so declares. The Super.
LOT Court of this state, acting for the
people of the state, have in fact the
power to consider any existing saloon
a nuisance, and to refuse to renew the
license; and there is no appeal from
the decision.
